Detailed explanation-1: -Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year and marks a time for atonement through fasting and prayer. In this image, ultra-Orthodox Jewish men pray at the Western Wall during Yom Kippur in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Detailed explanation-2: -For Yom Kippur, which only occurs for one day, the fast is observed from sundown to sundown. By extending the holiday for an extra hour, those observing can be sure that the fast aligns properly with the date. The fast occurs as part of the somber mood of the day of repentance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yom Kippur is “the tenth day of [the] seventh month” (Tishrei) and is also known as the “Sabbath of Sabbaths". Rosh Hashanah (referred to in the Torah as Yom Teruah) is the first day of that month according to the Hebrew calendar.
